Chapter 66: Things You Shouldn’t Say
During this period of time, Xu Cang has been working almost all the time, and even with his energy, he still has some difficulties. Fortunately, Xu Cang has nothing to do in the past two days. Yue Hai is even worried that Xu Cang is stubborn, so he called him and asked him not to help in the dispatch room and to have a good rest at home.
After two days of recharging his battery, Xu Cang adjusted his spirit and was in the best condition. Then he took the shift he had exchanged with Zhou Xinyu, a flight he had bought with money, from Jianchuan to Yingli.
The Jianchuan-Yingli flight is actually quite good to be honest, with approximately five hours of flight time, which is quite a lot of time, but not so much that the pilots would feel particularly tired.
However, the only regret is that the captain of this flight was not an instructor, but just a simple solo captain. When flying this flight, he could only remember the time but not the landing.
Because this shift was an early one, Xu Cang stayed in the company's attendance building the night before, so as to avoid being unable to get a taxi in Qinghua Community at four or five in the morning.
Around five o'clock the next morning, Xu Cang got up early and went to the preparation room. When he arrived, there was no one in the preparation room. The staff on duty at the information desk and the dispatch desk were still dozing off. It was not until the noise of Xu Cang putting down the flight box disturbed the staff on duty that the preparation room became a little lively.
The dispatcher wiped his mouth and saw Xu Cang blowing alcohol, his mind was obviously still a little confused: "Where are you flying from?"
The handheld breathalyzer that Xu Cang was fiddling with couldn't be turned on. He listened to the dispatcher and replied, "Fei Yingli should be responsible."
"Should I?" The dispatcher stretched himself lazily. "You're here really early."
Xu Cang held up the handheld breathalyzer: "This thing is broken, where is the flight doctor?"
The dispatcher had the same reaction as most people after waking up, looking around and scratching his head. After hearing Xu Cang say that there was a problem with the breathalyzer, he looked down at his watch and said, "The flight doctor hasn't arrived yet. He should be here in ten minutes. Wait a minute. You should also wait a moment for the mission book and release documents. I'll print them for you. Go get the document package first."
When the dispatcher woke up, the document clerk next to him was also woken up. The document bag contained some aeronautical charts and other things. In this era, there were no convenient electronic aeronautical charts like in later generations, so the document bag was still a bit heavy to carry.
After waiting for a while, the dispatcher printed out everything and cleared the flight. The flight doctor came over and found a spare breathalyzer, and there was no problem.
However, when Xu Cang was making preparations for the flight, he discovered an important problem. The aircraft number used for today's flight was 1566, which was the aircraft that had scratched the tail of the plane during Xu Cang's route assessment.
"What kind of luck is this?" To be honest, Xu Cang was a staunch materialist, but he didn't have a good impression of this plane. He was more inclined to believe that there was something wrong with the plane, but he had no substantial evidence.
This is not Xu Cang making excuses for himself, but with Xu Cang's skills, even if he flew abnormally, he would not make such a low-level mistake as hitting the tail of the plane.
Of course, it is not ruled out that Xu Cang was really too proud of himself at the time and caused his operation to be distorted.
But no matter what, Xu Cang felt that this plane was a bit unlucky.
Just as Xu Cang was talking to himself, a ghostly voice floated over from behind him: "What are you thinking about?"
The sudden noise in the quiet preparation room really scared Xu Cang. Turning around, he saw that it was the captain on duty for this flight.
"Nothing." Xu Cang didn't elaborate, but just answered casually.
The captain looked very young and not tall, but his hairstyle was quite fashionable. When I got closer, I could even smell a hint of men's perfume.
After putting away the flight case, the captain leaned against the table, pulled out the mission book, and glanced at Xu Cang: "Second Officer?"
Xu Cang responded very obediently: "Captain, I am the second officer Xu Cang."
"Xu Cang, the one who failed the proficiency check three times?" When the captain mentioned this name, he first thought of Xu Cang's glorious past. However, he seemed to be only slightly teasing, not mocking.
"I wasn't sensible enough before, I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Captain." Xu Cang laughed dryly.
"What's so funny? It's just a skilled inspection. What's the big deal if it fails two or three times?" The captain was a straightforward man. "But, have you heard about the engine failure of Feiyu 6321 a while ago? It seems that it was not caused by the crew, but by another pilot on the plane."
Halfway through the conversation, the captain nudged Xu Cang with his elbow and said, "Brother, do you have any gossip?"
Xu Cang was confused: "What gossip?"
"It must be that guy!" The captain licked his lips. "I heard that Feiyu's plane encountered a second bird strike after the go-around, and both engines shut down. Even with that, the plane was able to turn around in the air. It's really weird. How did he do it?"
Xu Cang scratched his head embarrassedly: "Maybe it's just luck."
To be honest, Xu Cang was indeed lucky on Feiyu 6321, not to mention the last upward airflow that seemed to be helped by God. After the second bird strike, the engine that caught fire did not shut down immediately, but persisted for a while, which allowed the plane to turn around.
"That's not right. We pilots should be eager to learn." The captain 's eyes flickered with admiration. "I don't know which airline this pilot is from. If I have the chance to meet him, I will definitely ask him for advice. You said that we all have our heads on our shoulders, so why are there such big differences?"
Xu Cang did not say that he was the pilot. He did not want to become famous, nor did he need others' admiration. He just did not understand why the authorities seemed to be intentionally restricting the news of Feiyu 6321. Only a few people in Blue Sky Airlines knew that the pilot was Xu Cang.
Xu Cang asked: "Captain, isn't the investigation of Feiyu 6321 over? Why haven't the details been released yet?"
The captain was surprised. "Who told you that the investigation of Feiyu 6321 is over? The investigation team of the General Administration at Feiyu Airlines has not left yet. I heard that more personnel will be sent later. You think the investigation is over! How can such a big thing be concluded in just a few days?"
"What?" The captain's words made Xu Cang feel uneasy. He recalled that he had said something he shouldn't have said during the incident. If the cockpit voice recorder had recorded it, the accident investigators might have found something strange if they were more careful.
Rebirth is his biggest secret and must not be discovered by anyone!
